The Sennheiser HD 350BTs offer a more traditional over-ear experience with better overall sound quality, suitable for home use, immersive music listening, and TV or gaming thanks to its low latency support. They are foldable for easier transportation and have a longer battery life, but they are less portable compared to earbuds. On the other hand, the Shokz OpenMove uses bone conduction technology which allows you to remain aware of your surroundings, making them ideal for outdoor activities and exercise; they are also lighter, sweatproof, and more compact. If you prioritize awareness and exercise use, OpenMove is the practical choice, whereas the HD 350BTs excel in sound experience for more stationary activities. Give Feedback

"Sennheiser nails just nearly everything about the Sennheiser HD 350BT headphones. Sound quality is excellent, and the high-quality Bluetooth codec support is a rarity at this price point. If you don’t care for high-tech features like automatic ear detection, you’ll be delighted with these portable headphones."

"The Shokz OpenMove are a bit more affordable than the company's other bone conduction headphones, making them a more appealing option for athletes on a budget. These headphones support premium features like multipoint connectivity and a durable build, but you lose other niceties like fast charging and a long battery life. Still, for less than $80, these are nice bone conduction headphones that will keep you safe when exercising."
